17 Year-Old Hungarian Next Signing at Newcastle

There is news buzzing on Tyneside today that another 17 year-old youngster will soon be through the door at Newcastle United.

Chris Mort – determined to bring great young talent to Newcastle

There are rumors that new Newcastle signing Ben Tozer watched the Reserves game against Sunderland from the stands last night. But also at the game was Hungarian Under-19 international Tamas Kadar and we fully expect 17 year-old Tamas Kadar to be signed, hopefully today, by the Newcastle club. It appears the club are attempting to get all the necessary paperwork from the English FA completed, before announcing the acquisition of the impressive youngster.

Tamas Kadar is Zalaegerszeg’s young defender, and he is currently playing in Hungary, but last month the youngster was invited for trials at both Bolton and Newcastle United. The 17 year-old Hungarian is a first team regular in Hungary, and scouts from both Newcastle United and Bolton have been very impressed by his performances for the Zalaegerszeg club this season. His favorite position is in central defense but he can also play on the left at the back.

Since both Newcastle and Bolton were interested, we suspect Sam Allardyce first lined him up while still manager at Bolton. And of course this latest capture will be in line with Newcastle’s new policy of finding players young, who have yet to make the grade. The plan is to finish their development at the club, which mirrors the way Arsenal and Arsene Wenger have captured many of their star players over the last several seasons. It is something that Sir Bobby Robson also tried, but it’s not always easy identifying these players while so young.

The Hungarian Under-19 international has recently helped Hungary reach the qualifying stages of the European Championships, where they beat Wales as part of their qualification process. When Tamas was over for his trials in mid-December he told Sky Sports:

“I really enjoyed being in England,” “In Bolton they would count me as a left-sided defender and in Newcastle I would play in the center of the defense. I admit this (central) is my favorite place on the pitch.”

“I know nothing about the financial details, but I did my very best and I know they both liked my performances.” “I was told that I would have a good chance to sign in England and my move might be realized in the winter transfer period.”

Kadar’s club Zalaegerszeg were not too interested in letting him go, after he made his debut for their first team last year, but of course were willing to listen to offers. We believe Newcastle have made more than an adequate offer, for the promising Hungarian. We think Tamas is probably the most likely of our young recruits to go straight into the first team squad and compete for a first team place. We hear he’s that good, and certainly the reports we have been receiving about the lad bear that out. We think he’s another excellent young player we have secured for the club’s future.

It looks like Newcastle beat out Bolton Wanderers for the youngster – and he could well be the 3rd youngster arriving in as many days at the club. Tamas follows 17 year-old Ben Tozer on Monday and 18 year-old Wesley Baheng yesterday. Wonder who we have lined up for tomorrow? 😀

Before anyone asks why we are signing kids and where the big signings are – remember it is easier for Mort to tie up the deals for the kids quickly because the contracts are simplier. When you start dealing with the first 11 signings you’ve got clubs, agents, all sorts to deal with.

Kadar is a great addition to the youngster line up – the best one we have signed so far.

Hopefully people talk about the Newcastle kids in the same light as the Arsenal ones in years to come. At least thats what Mort wants.

I’m over the moon that the club are recruiting youngsters. You get them for a small fee. If a handful grow to their potential then you’ve saved absolute millions on transfer fees. Well done mort and Co, and please can we have lots more!

TBH I have not heard a lot about this kid, do we know any thing about him like height, no. of appearances etc?

If anyone could find a video of him playing would be good. I tried youtube but nothing there.

Keep the recruitment up – you can never out spend the top 4 clubs (even though we have sometimes tried) but this is the way to bridge the gap. We just need to make sure we can get them to full potential.

I can’t believe it, I understand the decision by I thought he would be given the season. Mort backed him only a few days ago, seems a weird time to be getting rid. In my view there would be more and better managers available in the summer…

now we have pearson in charge for man u. no offence to him but he isnt really very good. i feel sorry for sam that he wanted to leave but i can only up a new manager will do for us what it has done for spurs. we will need a new manager quick to buy players for the first team because pearson wont get money to spend.

I’m pretty good at Championship Manager- even won the Champions League with Mansfield once! Wouldn’t fancy taking on the Toon though- Lippi maybe? Think Jose is not able to manager another Prem club this season- part of his agreement when he left Chelsea. Big Phil? Sven?- missed the boat there.

health update

My latest bone scans and CAT scans were completed on Wednesday of this week and yesterday I met with my oncologist Dr. Dhruva to look over the results.

The stage four cancer remains stabilized and has not spread any further over the last six months.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in early 2017 after being in remission for six years.

The cancer metastasized through the bones to different parts of the body and the treatment I am undergoing is hormone treatment.

There is no cure for stage 4 cancer but there are treatments (like Hormone treatment) that attempt to prolong life.

I am upbeat with the results and remain in awe of the doctors and nurses at the Rex Cancer Center here in Raleigh.

It's truly humbling to see how inspiring they are with their patients.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
